Big Series
Scoring 2 runs in the last two games is probably not the momentum you need heading into a critical series against the stacked Art Dealers. Every time I look at our line up of hitters I shake my head and say “but how?” Almost all these guys are castoffs from other organizations. And yet we are 3rd in runs scored (NL) and first in home runs (NL). So I just accept that Z knows more than everyone else and I move on. But it’s hard to do when I go back and look at Ruf, Solano, Slater, Grave Duggar, Flores, Estrada, Wade, Sock Man, Dickerson….etc
How does this team ever score ANY runs with this hodge podge collection of rag tag scraps?
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Be still my heart
Slater ribbie!
can the ice man and mcgee save this one? I think they can.
I’m telling you, dogs are gonna be looking for pen guys too.
More runs without a bomb. They were “due.”
Yeah pour it on and make a statement for tomorrow!!
Giants baseball ⚾️ frustrating and exhausting and exciting all in one!!
These right-handed hitters tonight are hitting that outside stuff to right-field instead of trying to pull it, which they’ve been doing lately. Use the whole field, what a concept.
Except meathead Ruf, who was still trying to kill it.
I won’t barrage you with the data. Of course Estrada pulled the ball, as did the lefty Vosler. Ruf hit into DP going the other way. Go Giants!
I was talking about outside junk pitches.
Like what Kim was throwing.
Ruf swung at an inside pitch and got kind of jammed.
Yes, sorry!
Has Ruf always been using a purple bat?
Leone looks pretty good.
Giants showing some serious attitude right now! And I’m digging it!
Show them Bums who the real front runner is”Your SF Giants that’s who”
Ump yanked out Turner; awesome.
At least he’s equal opportunity garbage.
Makes up for the Posey call.
yeah pretty funny Kruk goes with the “too close to take” noise.
Jackson K’s Turner. Dogs only have 3 hits tonight.
None since Gause removal…
Quickly skimming that comment, I instantly had Michael Jackson, Ike Turner, and 3 Dog Night in my head….
Nice …
lulz
been that kind of night. Kat mentioned Rawhide at 10:08. I’m gonna cue up the awesome opening and closing credits theme. “Head em up. Move em out.” 2 verses from Frankie Laine with backup singers.
Eli’s coming heart to heart girl.
Eli’s coming and the cards say a broken heart 💔
on cbs sports site they run twitter stuff and beat writer comments to right of box score. Dodger nation is ruining Roberts for 4 run inning.
Sure glad Bellinger is a bum right now.Dodger blogs are ripping him.
He takes a ridiculously violent swing. It doesn’t seem like a sustainable thing.
The strike zone box doesn’t seem big enough with that straight-up stance of his.
McGee prays to his hat?
Or prays his cheat sheet is right…
shook off Posey there on last pitch to Pujols. Maybe it was a deke.
that 96 high hard one past Betts was awesome though. Guy is a trip, even if marine layer kept one in park.
Pujols must be 75 pounds heavier than when he came up…
Hell of a pen game tonight.
Pupils looks like he ate Willie Mays.
lulz
Pupils? Pujols.
Beat L.A.!
Fuck….what a marathon. Ugly win but a W.
Big win taking the opener!!
Let’s grab another one Tomorrow!!
pen game and yet they saved Rogers. I think we need a split of this series. Half way there.
yeah 6 shutout innings, 1 hit 1 BB 6 Ks. well done.
And the winning pitcher is . . . Garcia!
Wonder if VMI or whatever that stat Flav used to quote is called,, messed Dogs over. Coming from Coors, where pitching staffs get taxed anyway, a day after blowing lead with Jansen and Bickford giving runs twice when they had chance to win. Giants finally get a guy they can tee off on, while Dogs bats go silent after first 2 runs.
Hope Vosler can stay really like to watch him hit.
275 comments…and kudos to the Right-coasters (Loo, Mac) who hung in there until the end. What a fucking marathon.
Many mentioned that it felt like we were losing for most of the game, yet we led wire-to-wire. I think we were just waiting for the other shoe to drop (3-run dog bomb), but the pen said no bueno.
Get the W today and guarantee the split. Not the end of the world if we go 1-3, but a split would be huge.
Estrada came up big. Quality ABs.
The stock market had its biggest drop of the year yesterday, fueled by concerns about the possible effects of the Delta variant on the economy. And after that Fox News began promoting the vaccine.
Coincidence?
To many Republicans are dropping. Fox has to do something.
Yes, literally their own viewers.
It isn’t even ironic in the broadest sense that they are literally promoting their more ardent viewers to death sentences.
Delta Dawn was that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from times gone bye
And did I hear you say another vaccine is on its way
To shoot are bodies up for the third time…
The nation is at 49.2% fully vaccinated. Vermont continues to lead, at 67%. Alabama is the worst, at 33.7%
Most Bay Area counties are at 80+%. Funny Vermont is in the lead. It’s not like they are government loving blues. They are more stubborn independents. But they don’t simply listen to the noise.
As to be expected. Not surprising at all.
My county is at 45%, which, sadly, is not surprising either.
Yeah, the anti-vaccers may have more to do with the next election results than anything else. Hard to vote from under ground.
I wonder if Nick Saban is doing any big promotional things for the vaccine in Alabama. We all know how highly revered he is in that state. If he isn’t doing that, it would be great if he would.
The SEC commish though did come out very strongly in favor of athletes getting vaccines, so that teams with 85% get more perks. Said no more postponements of games, and if team had problems it could result in forfeit L. and of course, he also encouraged those planning on attending to be vaccinated as well.
What the media should be reporting is that the anti-vaxxer crowd in the house and the senate have ALL gotten the vaccine. Ask them every fucking day “Hey, Gomert, did you get the vaccine?”
Exactly. The top anti-Vaxx talking heads refuse to state their vax status. Tucker Carlson being the key one. Obviously, any sane person takes that evasive response as an admission that you’ve been vaccinated.
Considering that, how people can take what these talking heads say as truth and guidance for what you do with your own health and family’s health is beyond mind-boggling, it’s mind-melting…
Maybe we need to bring in Chuck Norris with his elite Delta Force commandos to flush these anti vaccinated from going underground..
Cool news!
awesome. Having much improved July. Giants must be encouraged, and now he’s only couple hours away.
Give him 20 games at AAA and evaluate mid-August…
A good friend of mine passed away recently (not from Covid-19), and that terrible feeling of loss hits you hard.
The vaccine is such an easy and simple thing. A way to save so many lives.
Public health shouldn’t be a political stance.
I just figured that all the crap I put into my body over the years what’s a few human mRNA cells gonna hurt. Lot’s of really paranoid people in our country.
